“Women experience extreme violence because of these unequal power relations,” says the Heineken Workers Forum. “Supervisors expect women to give sex for being scheduled in good shifts, get a better job or even just keep the job.”

Workers at Heineken are preparing to march against sexual abuse at the beer giant’s Sedibeng brewery.

According to the statement, supervisors and managers at the brewery also use their power to demand money from both men and women for jobs.“The Heineken Workers Forum has been trying to talk to Heineken about the problems of workers, but the company doesn’t listen. Instead, workers are intimidated, victimised and dismissed for speaking out,” the statement reads.

“Both Heineken and Imperial have put in place reporting channels where employees are encouraged to anonymously report wrongdoing, including abuse of this nature,” Maroga told the“In addition to the tip-off line, Imperial has shared and workshopped their sexual harassment policy with their employees and provided various platforms to report misconduct.”

If labour codes are breached, it is the responsibility of the third-party service providers, Velleman said.“Additionally, we have previously commissioned an independent audit to assess the business practices of our service provider as it relates to Heineken. At the time, sexual harassment grievances were not flagged as one of the issues the business should address,” Maroga said.

Maroga reiterated that it is Imperial that contracts workers through a labour-broking company. These workers would only be contracted for the appropriate duration, in accordance with the Constitutional Court ruling, Maroga said. In a statement announcing the march, the Heineken Workers Forum reiterated its call to be made permanent.
